This Zoo is great if you are visiting Chicago. It is a fun place to go whether or not there are kids in your party. To start off with this zoo is really well kept and a pleasure to take a walk in. As you walk around, you can explore and interact with all the different animals they have here. Each display area is fun and unique and if you stop to read the little boards, you will surely learn something interesting. There are so many animals here to see. Even if you are not a fan of animals, come here and enjoy a nice stroll in the beautiful zoo grounds. Did I mention that this beautiful and fun place is FREE??
